Question

The product of three integers is (-85). if two of the integers are (-17) and (-5),find the third integer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1st integer = - 17

2nd integer = - 5

Let 3rd integer be x

Already, - 17 * -5 = 85 (positive integer)

If the answer should be -85 then multiply 85 with - 1

So, - 17 * -5* -1 = -85

Reason:

Positive integer * positive integer = positive integer

-ve integer * - ve integer = -ve integer

+ve integer * - ve integer = - ve integer

Answer 2

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

1st integer = - 17  

2nd integer = - 5  

Let 3rd integer be $x$

Already, - 17 × -5 = 85 (positive integer)  

If the answer should be -85 then multiply 85 with - 1  

So, - 17 × -5 × -1 = -85

Reason:  

Positive integer × positive integer = positive integer

Negative integer × negative integer = positive integer

Negative integer × Positive integer = Negative integer  

Positive integer × Negative integer =Negative integer
